Less Than Four Days Left to Invest in The Flyover

In four days, our investment window will be closed.

Not next month.
Not "sometime soon."
Four days.

So instead of telling you why we think you should invest in The Flyover, we'll do something different.

Here are the Top 4 Reasons to Invest—starting with one we didn't write ourselves.

1. ChatGPT Picked This Reason (Seriously)

When we asked ChatGPT (AI) why someone should invest in The Flyover, here is what it said.

It didn't talk about hype or buzz. It pointed to something rare:

A fast-growing, profitable, reader-first media company—built outside legacy media, without billionaire-corporate backing, and owned by its audience.

That's not marketing fluff. That's an objective read of our business.

2. A New Media Startup—But Actually Different

Most "new media" companies:

Lose money
Chase clicks
Depend on venture capital
Answer to advertisers first

The Flyover is profitable, growing, and reader-owned. We focus on trust, clarity, and consistency, not outrage or algorithms.

This combination is rare. And it's working.

3. Join a Movement to Fix What's Broken

Americans don't trust the news and for good reason.

Legacy media has:

Chosen narratives over facts
Divided audiences for attention
Optimized for outrage instead of understanding

The Flyover exists to change that. We deliver fact-first, unbiased news to millions of readers who want information, not indoctrination.

This isn't just an investment. It's a vote for a better media model.

4. There's Only Room for Less Than 400 Final Investors

This part is simple math.

We're about 88% full. That leaves fewer than 400 spots before the round closes. Permanently.

When it's full, it's full. No extensions. No waitlist guarantees.

If you've been thinking, watching, or meaning to "circle back"—now is the moment.

✈️ Final Boarding Call

Four days left.
Fewer than 400 spots.
A profitable, growing media company changing how Americans consume news.

Invest in The Flyover before the window closes.

$45M Wrongful Imprisonment Award Stands

The U.S. Supreme Court denied a request from Miami Township in Montgomery County to review a $45 million jury award given to a man ruled wrongfully imprisoned for 20 years.

The township said it can't afford to pay the judgment. Previously, a three-judge panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to lower the amount.

The man, Dean Gillispie, 60, of Fairborn, was released from prison in 2011 and exonerated in 2017. He sued the township, and a federal jury awarded him the damages amount after finding that police failed to release potentially exculpatory evidence in his 1991 rape case.

State Offers Tips to Collect Unclaimed Funds

The Ohio Department of Commerce published a list of do's and don'ts as part of its ongoing push for residents to collect unclaimed funds turned over to the state.

The unclaimed funds can include money from old bank accounts, uncashed checks, or unrefunded rent deposits. You can find a list of examples here.

Ohioans can start the process through the state Department of Commerce's website.

Among the tips, the state advises filing a claim as soon as possible—funds can be considered abandoned after 10 years—and avoiding the filing of multiple claims at one time.

College Inventors Earn National Honors

Several researchers at Ohio universities were elected to the National Academy of Inventors' newest class of fellows. You can see the complete list here.

The Ohio State University's honorees were Alan Luo, Anant Agarwal, and Dehua Pei.

Case Western Reserve University was represented by Robert Brown and Jesse Wainright, and the University of Cincinnati's honoree was John Weidner.

The new fellows will be honored at a conference in Los Angeles in June, where the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will present them with medals.
